Since the start of the World Wide Web thousands of anti-war and pro-peace projects have already come and gone. Now GetPeaceful.org presents a first-ever collection of its kind documenting the traces of anti-war movements that have disappeared among the sponsored links, spams, and twittering machines of today's infoverse. / AntiWar404 / Contemporary search engines have a tendency to make dead websites disappear quietly. AntiWar404 counteracts some of the resulting amnesia. It offers a concise record of the peace movement forgotten by Google, resurrecting pages and pages of war resistance that you won't find in your search engine results. Documents re-found! / AntiWar404 / Maybe this is a good time to rediscover the Anti-war Movement? While many in the U.S. voted for Barack Obama to end the hawkish foreign policy of the Bush era, so far the investments in Bush's wars have only increased. April was the deadliest month this year for both Iraqi civilians and American soldiers. In Afghanistan and Pakistan, aerial bombardments of villages -- and allegations that the U.S. has used white phosphorus weapons -- have further diminished sympathy for the U.S. presence in the region. Yet the demand for an immediate end to Bush's wars is barely audible in the din of American media. As the military misadventures in Afghanistan and Pakistan escalate, the role played by independent media in the lead up to the war in Iraq is now "not found."
